Getting Music and Photos

My old computer died and with it my access to my iTunes account.  (Yes, I know that I should have backed it up, but that ship sailed.)
Now I have music and pictures on my iPod classic that I would like to get off and up onto an iTunes account and presumably the iCloud.
What do I do?

Your only other option is to go to a friend or family member's house and use their pc to backup your music and photos. Your final option would be to go to the library or save for a reliable computer. Sorry, there's no fun way out of that situation.

  • If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos?  This was before icloud was available, can you reset your password?

    If you have an itunes acct that was not set up to share and the lap top it was on is no longer working, is there a way to open up the old itunes acct to get music and photos off of it?  This was before Icloud was available.  Can you reset your itunes password somehow?

    iTunes and the iTunes Store won't have anything to do with your photos. Those would be stored only on your laptop unless you made a backup of some sort. If you didn't, and the hard drive in your laptop has failed, then your photos are gone unless you wish to pay a disk recovery service a lot of money to try and get them back.
    As to your music, if you purchased it from the iTunes Store you can probably re-download it. Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time.

  • HT1329 Is there any way to get music and photos from a mac formatted iPod classic to a windows computer if you do not have a mac computer?

    I HAD a mac and lets just say it got destroyed. My only hope of getting my music and baby pics back is if I can get my Mac formatted iPod Classic to up load onto my Toshiba Windows7 laptop. Is there any way of doing this or is all hope lost?

  • Music and Photos on iPhone and iPod

    I first got an iPod nano, then I bought an iPhone. I'm trying to get my iTunes music and photos onto iPhone but it won't let me. Is there a way to get music and photos on both devices? Will I have to create another iTunes account on the same computer and upload my music all over again or is there a better way? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

    No. I sync three ipods and an iphone to the same itunes account and library.
    How are you trying to get music on it?
    You have to select the options from the tabs in itunes.
    Perhaps a review of the manual would help:

  • I found an old iPod classic of mine.  It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro.  How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer?  When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

    I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone.  I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer.  Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer.  I don't want to do that.  I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes.  Any help?  Thanks!

    I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

    my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.

    Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

  • Each time I try to access music and photos on Apple TV it asks me to turn sharing on in iTunes. When I go to sharing it says it's on and I have to turn it off then on again to get it to work. Is there a way to avoid this?

  • I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

    I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

    That's not easy.  The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
    You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy.  See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • I just purchased an iphone4 to replace my 3gs.  how do I get my computer to recognize my iphone4 so that I can download my music and photos?

    I just purchased an iphone4 to replace my 3gs.  How do I sync my new phone to my computer to download my music and photos etc.?

    Well if you synced and backed up your iPhone 3GS in iTunes, all you have to do is plug it into your computer and right click on it in the iTunes sidebar. Then select restore from backup and choose the iPhone 3GS backup. All of your settings, contacts, music, photos, etc will be transferred.

  • Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

    I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
    I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
    But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
    I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
    Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David
    Mac Book Pro, G4 desktop   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Heya David,
    If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

  • My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc.  Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available.  they appear to be lost.

    my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available.  I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth.  I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not.  So what do I use so that when i lose data on  my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

    Your content will only be where you put it.  It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
    You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
    You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
    You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer.  You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

  • Music and photos from Droid to Iphone4?

    I recently switched from Droid Incredible to Iphone 4, and I don't know how to get music and pictures transfered over. Can someone please help??
    Verizon store told me to sync to iTunes, but didn't get an explanation of how...

    Where on your computer is the music that you put on your Droid stored? You need to import this music into iTunes and then sync it to the iPhone. Also, with photo, if you are a PC user, you can choose a folder in iTunes where your photos are and sync them to the iPhone too.
